It is more of an explainer. I think a number of MS customers still want local Office copies on their desktop. For one, they get offline access (which Google isn't providing with their offerings still, last I heard).
Also: MS does not want to kill off its Office cash cow just yet by offering everyone cloud-only Office. Once licensing revs start really declining for Office on PCs, they will pull the Office cloud switch, I think.
